American here. Please buy European. Make the American oligarchs who supported Trump because they wanted lower taxes at the expense of global stability see their stock prices drop. Thatโ€™s the only language they understand.

Also unitedstatesian; I fully agree

Wow, that's very impressive IMO.
More would be better, but 13% is significant.

The Buy European movement started really hitting its stride in Feb or March I think. Considering that, 13% is a lot.

Considering how big sneaker culture got in my country and Nike's covers that a lot. I am thrilled there is even a downtrend to notice. Air jordans haven't been selling harder.

As an aside, anyone has a good recommendation to replace yeezy's? (They where a gift, before the whole Ye bullshit)

I love the shoe, by far my favorite summer shoe. Skechers never last me, and those have been going 3 summers.

So knitted sneakers european made? Maybe not as ugly as yeezy's. I'm dad-age, I'll wear comfy over looks anytime but would value not looking like a clown.

I didn't see anything in there breaking it down to Europe specifically. It's was -12% (after currency conversion) for EMEA, and -11% for North America.

They'll shrug it off as a temporary downturn at the quarterly meeting.
And i wouldn't consider Adidas a solution unless you support sweatshops.
